The GUEST of the 8:59 am post has more technical knowledge than some of us, and is obviously an insider, but those facts do not explain that poster's arrogance-based stupidity when it comes to grasping concepts, or his frustration at his impotence, or his extreme physical and mental cowardice, or his phony concern about "what goes on around here."
Ooh - sticks and stones, my dear, sticks and stones!
My only concern apropos "what goes on around here" is the fact that some people seem in grave danger of disappearing up their own fundaments. Relax, poppet; this too will pass - and sweet Shambles will still be tilting at windmills when New Year comes round again, that much I can guarantee. And some people will still be kind and helpful, and others will be incapable of civility, and others will still be trying to justify the war in Iraq by citing Kofi Annan's laundry list...
But what concept is it that I have failed to grasp in my arrogance-based stupidity (and is there a humility-based stupidity as well)? As for impotence, I have as much or as little power in this forum as any here (apart from the designated clones). And as for physical and mental cowardice, extreme or otherwise, that's not for me to say. Thus far, however, if doesn't seem to have been found wanting.
